BRIDGE in January 😍

January 25th is Burns Night - but how much can a long-dead poet's birthday really mean today? 😉In the current unit of BRIDGE ❤️, one of our Scottish writers talks about his own experiences and explains why Burns Night is a big deal to many Scots 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Subscribers can also hear him reading some of the poems you'd hear at a Burns Supper!

‼️🎁 With your students try one of the BRIDGE kahoots based on this cool article: https://create.kahoot.it/details/6938a4da-75a3-48f5-b4ac-033d7d6134ed?drawer=

GATE Christmas ⭐️
A fat old man who climbs down the chimney to leave presents in big socks? 🎅When you think about it, Father Christmas is a pretty odd belief. 😃But he's far from the strangest Christmas gift-bringer, as GATE readers will learn this month. ⁉️
After years of writing about Christmas traditions 🎄, we thought there could be no surprises left, but check out this month's unit and you'll see how wrong we were! 🤣🤩⭐️

At BRIDGE, we're committed to giving a balanced view on controversial issues 🙂🧐 - so this month we're "both-sidesing" the spirit of Christmas 🎄as our resident Grinch and Christmas Elf go head-to-head. Of course it's not entirely serious... but it's not entirely a joke, either. Though we are completely sincere when we wish you all the love and joy of the season. ❤️Even our Grinch (that's me, Paul Farrington-Douglas, in fact) agrees on that. Happy Christmas! 🤩🥰⭐️
